The boat show, the boat show...

The big Seattle boat show. If you've ever heard the commercial, you're singing along with me right now. It keeps going through my head.

Anyhow, we went to the boat show this weekend so we could look inside all those huge yachts we'll never be able to afford. I love seeing things in miniature - tiny little cabins, fridges, sinks that turn into countertops, little bathrooms where you can sit on the toilet and take a shower at the same time. It's the same reason I like to go to the RV show. Andre goes so he can figure out what we're going to do with all of our riches when we when the lottery. Fiona thought it would be fun to go because she got it confused with Disneyland and thought there would be a pirate ride.

We didn't see any pirates, but there were some amazing boats there. Now we're seething with boat envy. The bad thing about it was that we saw all the million dollar boats at the end which made the $40,000 boats we saw at the beginning look affordable. Fiona doesn't really need to go to college right? After all, which is more important, an education or a swank yacht with 3 cabins and 2 full heads (that means cute miniature bathroom for you non-boat people)? I vote boat.
